We got the comics today. The thirteen-year-old doesn't always read everything, but she liked Countdown this time, mainly because she likes Donna Troy and there were two of them (one good, one evil, as it always is). I asked her what she thought of extra-crabby Batman, and she said she didn't realize he was a different one from usual because she didn't read those pages. Why not? Doesn't she like Batman? Well, yes, kind of but he's "too dark and boring."
You know who's not "too dark and boring"? Deadpool! She enthusiastically approved of Random Guest and Deadpool 49. She is infinitely disappointed that Hydra Bob's blog does not appear to be a genuine web address (and I have to admit I'm a little surprised that it isn't).
She also expressed her surprise at Young Avengers Presents Patriot in that she didn't think Winter Soldier could be "nice." (I guess he didn't kill anyone, at that.) She likes the Young Avengers (doesn't everyone?) but has given up on seeing them again regularly (hasn't everyone?) so she was happy to see this.
She had some general happy comments to make on the latest Wonder Woman but did not give any details. (Personally I liked it, and am curious to see what happens next, which isn't usually the case for me with Wonder Woman so I guess it's better than it was.)
She liked the New X-Men but was a little confused on some points because we're not getting any of the rest of the crossover. By the way, I didn't see New X-Men in the solicits this month--but I did see something called Young X-Men. Is that a replacement title, possibly?
We've also heard just lately that there will be a Power Girl title coming up sometime later this year, and since Power Girl is awesome! that would be one to add, if it comes to pass.
